Truck Accident Attorney in Las Vegas

Possible truck accident claims include claims for personal injury, property damage, and wrongful death. 

Personal injury claims cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Property damage, on the other hand, addresses the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle and other damaged property. 

In tragic cases, wrongful death claims provide compensation for the families of those who lost their lives in the accident.

You may be able to bring a truck accident claim against various parties depending on the unique circumstances of your case. Here, liability could fall on the truck driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts if a defect contributed to the accident, or even third-party maintenance companies.  

Keep in mind that in cases where multiple parties may be liable for the accident, Nevada follows joint and several liability laws. What this means is that you can only sue the trucking company for the accident. Then, if you win and recover a settlement or jury award, the trucking company will sue the other parties involved.

The value of your truck accident claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the extent of property damage, medical expenses incurred and anticipated (in other words, current and future medical expenses), lost income, and the impact on your quality of life. Non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and permanent disfigurement might also be awarded. 

If the case goes to court, your Las Vegas truck accident lawyer might request the judge or jury to award you punitive damages.

Even if liability is undisputed, having a lawyer is beneficial. They can ensure you receive fair compensation that covers all your damages, navigate the legal and insurance processes, and handle negotiations or any complexities that may arise.

Our truck accident lawyers work on a contingency fee arrangement, where the lawyer's fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict. They will only deduct this percentage if you win. In other words, the fee is free unless you win.
